Bait and Bleed

Anyone know any campfire songs?

Bait and bleed is a military strategy involving 3 or more factions, that attempts to induce rival factions into a protracted war of attrition against each other so that they "bleed each other white", while the baiter who encouraged the conflict remains on the sidelines, maintaining their military and economic strength._[31]

Counter Tactics
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO COUNTER A BASE CAMPER, TO TAKE THE BATTLE TO THEM...

• Form an Alliance
Someone missing from the battlefield? Well that's not fair... Maybe you and an enemy should declare a temporary truce and go pay them a visit...

In Axis and Allies RTS
CAMPING: THE MASSING MANY UNITS IN ONE LOCATION, AND NOT MOVING OR ATTACKING

• Default Strategy for FFA
The Bait and Bleed is the default strategy for all FFA games (battles with 3 or more factions), even though it is pretty much no bait and all bleed. Leave everyone alone and eco up, then attack when and where they don't expect it.
